What is this?
Web site allows us to stay up on the news
Published Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Dear Editor
I just want to say thank you for The Clanton Advertiser’s Web site, clantonadvertiser.com.
For those of us that no longer live in Chilton County, it keeps us up on a lot of the things going on in the county.
I don’t care where I live or how long I have been gone, Chilton County will always be home.
I live in Tulsa, Okla. now. You would not believe how many people out here know about Chilton County and its peaches.
You can say something about it, and they ask if that is where the big Peach Tower is.
I will tell them yes it is, and the next thing they say is, those are the best peaches they have ever had.
My youngest daughter is a junior at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, Okla.
When we were moving her back in this fall, I saw a man with a Auburn shirt on.
Well, I had to say something to him about it, being I am a die hard Auburn fan. I found out he was from Plantersville.
He was moving his daughter back in who is also a junior. Our daughters have known each other for the last two years and are very good friends.
I guess I have taken up enough time. Thank you again for keeping the ones of us no longer live in Chilton County informed.

Bobby Joe -
I love reading your story and I can relate. I, too, no longer live in my native Chilton County, but it will ALWAYS be my home. I was just there a couple of weeks ago and I hope to go back in December and then again in March. Unfortunately, I missed the Peach season, but I did manage to get my hands on a few good ones, thanks to some wonderful people in our County.
Thanks again for your wonderful story. It is absolutely amazing that you are in Tulsa and I am in San Diego and yet ... because of your story, I feel close to home! :)

More importantly, this site lets us all hear the viewpoint of KWgraves.

Now, now, now, you and the rest of us are going to hear from kwsgraves if we hang out here long enough. He's got an opinion on every topic under the sun and he doesn't mind making it known. Interestingly enough, he does have some thought-provoking things to say; even intelligent things every now and again (but don't tell him that). It's like so many things in life, as I have come to learn, ... take what you need and leave the rest. And NEVER respond to a personal insult. For the most part, on here at least, you don't know them and they don't know you ... therefor they are not even qualified to insult you on a personal level.
